Re: 35/36 Pickup Seat Base
I honestly don't know if the 51-815360-A2 drawing represents a part Ford put into production or not. Unfortunately the dates in the upper top right hand corner are not clear enough to read and I also don't have any of the Engineering Parts Release cards to know what this part was used for or when. The drawing shows a hardwood multi-piece design which is different than the "normal" one which is made from plywood. It's possible this design is intended for the rare instance of a Panel Truck with an 18 gallon tank. There's no cab wall behind it so it needed a different design seat. This is all just speculation on my part but this drawing just doesn't fit into my knowledge base very well.

Re: 35/36 Pickup Seat Base
One final comment. Notice the part number ends in -A2. To me this indicates that there at least two versions of -A. I've only seen this nomenclature when there are two versions of the same part from two different vendors. It's likely that the -A1 version is plywood and the -A2 is assembled from hardwood pieces. Again this is more of my speculation since I don't have a copy of the -A1 drawing or any of the release cards which would likely definitively provide the answers.
At this point I'm not sure that anyone would which version was used especially since this part ends up not visible unless you take the seat out of the truck and flip it over.
